Lyrics

Fossil Alphabet

The fossil, the fossil alphabet. Here are some words you won't forget.The fossil, the fossil alphabet. Here's the fossil alphabet

A's Albertosaurus, with a long and skinny tail B is for Basilosaurus, like a giant whaleC is Coprolite, dino doo-doo in the sandand D is for Dinosaur, that walked on landE's Elasmosaurus, with a neck so slim and long F is for fossil, things that have turned into stoneG's for Gastrolith, a stone to digest foodand H for Hesperornis, a flightless swimming bird

I's for Ichthyornis, a seabird like a gull J is for Jurrasic, age of the dinosaurK's for Kronosaurus, with jaws that could crush shellsAnd L is Liopleurodon, with underwater smellsM's for Mosasaurus, marine reptile of the deepN is for NAUTILOIDS, snails that squirt to leapO's Ornithocherus, a large bird that's in the airAnd P's for Plesiosaurus, who could paddle everywhere

Q's for Quetzacoatlus, a creature soaring gently. (Ket za coat lus)R's for Rock, not igneous, but simply sedimentaryS is for Shark, who has cartilage for bone And T is for Turtle, the giant ArchelonU is Unenlagia, a feathered dinosaurV's Velociraptor, a "swift thief" with a clawW's WUERHOSAURUS, with a spikey tailAnd X is for Xiphactinus, a bulldog fish with scales

There's only two more letters in this fossil alphabetI'm sure you will remember all the words and not forget.Y is Yukatan, where a giant asteroid fellAnd Z is for Zygorhiza , a prehistoric whaleNow, when you look at fossils, in museums near your home,You'll know how to name the things you see inside the stone.There are lots of fossils and it's fun for us to name themSo take a trip into the past and see if you can find them.

The fossil, the fossil alphabetThat's the fossil alphabetThe fossil, the fossil alphabetAnd now we're done.

Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Down in the Badland there's a T-Rex so big,That she grew so tall, she can't see her feet!She growls and roars as she stomps around.She bosses everyone and pushes them down.With lots of teeth, she likes to chew meat.In the dino world she's top of the heap,But nobody ever invites her in.She has a bad temper and she cheats, she cheats to win!

Dawn, Dawn, Dawn of the Dinosaurs. (X4)

When Dawn went off to Hard Rock SchoolHer teachers tried to make her follow the rule.They said, "Always let everybody play.You can't always have it your own way."At recess time it was always the same,If you wanted to play, it was always her game.She'd call you names and take your stuff.In a game of tag, she was always, always too rough!

Dawn, Dawn, Dawn of the Dinosaurs. (X2)Dawn, Dawn, she's always right and everybody's wrong. Dawn,... of the Dinosaurs.

One recess when the sun was hotDawn took a nap in a sunny, sunny spot,Then all the other little dinosaursHeard Dawn and her very, very, very loud snores!They crept to touch her leathery side. Someone got an idea that she'd make a great slide. Now they all play slide together everydayAnd Dawn has friends, has friends and everyone can play!

Dawn, Dawn, Dawn of the Dinosaurs. (X2)Dawn, Dawn, she knows what's right, now they all get along. Dawn,... (x5)
